There has been phenomenal growth in overseas travel from Ireland, and in traffic through our airports, in the last 20 years, led by the low-cost 'revolution' in air travel and fuelled by increased disposable income. There are now direct flights to more than 250 destinations worldwide from Irish airports. Last year, almost 30 million passengers passed through the four main airports, Dublin, Belfast, Shannon and Cork. Here, we list every destination you can fly to from the main airports. The number of destinations you can fly to from Dublin has doubled in the last ten years, from 60 to 129. Twenty million passengers are expected through Dublin in 2006, on over 180,000 flights.
